Killswitch-Manager
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
This applet controls killswitches and enables you to turn off or on radio devices. I designed that application to use the wireless toggle function key on my Lenovo laptop which has a single toggle function key for 3 devices (bluetooth, wifi and ultrawideband).

HELP:

I am currently not succeeding in building RPM packages for Fedora and Mandriva. I don't use those distributions and it will take me quite a while to figure out how to fix my issue. If anyone could help me on the make install and the file locations for the plasmoid, I would be delighted to update my packages.

The package provided in openSUSE 11.4 repo doesn't seem to demand hal as a dependency, but doesn't work properly if hal is removed from system.

For HAL will be removed, we developed a urfkill daemon to provide DBus method to userland applications:
http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/urfkill#preview
Do you mind we send patches to you for Killswitch-Manager can also support urfkill daemon?
I will base on your source code tarball 0.2 version, or you can share your git repo to us if you are ok.
Thank's a lot!

I've made an Arch Linux package for your program.
You can find it at http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=37575
.desktop file and the icon are probably useful for general distribution, too.

You might whant to examine the command "xmodmap". Whith this you can bind a special key to a "normal key".
Check the manpage:
